The examinations of a few of the operations of force will illustrate the principles by which the kinds of force may be distinguished.
When Transformation Of Force Takes Place.
In general there is always a transformation of force when activity passes from a higher discrete degree to a lower; consequently as the natural world derives its forces from the spiritual, there is a transformation of force in the communication of spiritual forces to the natural world. It will be recalled that as the universe and man are of the same form by the similar arrangement of discrete degrees, the transformation of the forces of the spiritual world into those of the natural is illustrated and explained by the passing of mental or spiritual forces in man into muscular or physical forces.
